Shark Trivia

Did You Know that the Moon affects Shark Behavior….

.….according to studies revealing that the Moon, water temperature, and even time of day affect the diving behavior of sharks?

Studies of various species showed that the sharks stayed in deep waters on nights of a full Moon, but rose to the nighttime shallows with the new Moon.

In winter, sharks tended to remain closer to the surface where the water was warmer and temperature more constant. During the summer, sharks tended to move more broadly in respect to range of depths.

Research suggests that because most sharks are coldblooded, they may prefer warmer waters to conserve energy. It also suggests that these significant correlations are related to feeding and possibly predator avoidance.
